A meeting of tin; Democratic County Committee is hereby called to meet at Elinwood, Nebraska, at 10 o'clock a. m. on Saturday, October 1-', 1912. All members and candidates are expected to lie prevent. V. I).

Hit Nebraska City Daily Press is a holler. What else could it be, when il deliberalely supports lloosrvclt in preference to Tal'l, Hie regular republican nominee'.' :o : The great Wilson deinonsl ra tions in Omaha and Lincoln Sat urday is' enough to enthuse the democrats of Nebraska, especially those who are slow to catch on lo the great lidal wave that is to sweep over this country on the nth day of November. ;(): . (lovernor Wilson said in Oma ha Saturday that everybody would lie satisfied with the election this year democrats wilh the election of Wilson, the bull monsers satis iled with the defeat, of TaTt and the regular republicans satisfied with the defeat of llonsevell. What will .Ullrich and Paulj U is just as- wttl tm bntt in Clark do when the big majority of j politic as wtfll as anything, else, the republican party of Nebraska ' but it is pretty hard for Paul are lined up for Taft? Will they still be for Hoosevelt? That's- the ipiestion. -: o: -:o:- Sa II. is cheaper than it was, al though most of the remainder of your balanced ration is soaring. Itcing worth one's salt is easier, therefore, but making the rest of I he living is considerable of a problem. :o: It is baldly to be expected that anything that Oovernor Wilson says should meet with the ap probation of the man who or ganized the Harvester trust, and who has been engaged in various enterprises which have fattened upon the tariff. lias never been a party fo that wrong and whose policy is openly against the tyranny of Ihe tariff ami I lie t runny of the (rusts. The woman who casts her vote for such a candidate is showing good politics and is doing what, is right in the interests of Hit; country ami I lie evollolilics of ller home. The democrat who vole. for Hoosevelt, is giving a half vote for Tail. The hat lie is undoubtedly between Wilson and Tall. Roose velt will lie t bird man in the race, ami this is the reason why a democrat who votes for him is giving a half vote for Taft. As election lay draws near, think of what, you will be doing, ere it is loo late. :o: The democrat or the professed democratwho is content to sit back ami "throw cold water" on the election of a democrat it: presi dent by refusing to support the democratic presidential ticket, is a half ami half sort of citizen. He is as much r a republican as he is a democrat, ami ought to "go the whole hog or none" one way or the other. Thomas It. Marshall, tin? vice presidential candidate on the democratic ticket, is a bigger man than many thought, before Ihe Halliinore convention. He is quite an orator and his speeches are taking with Ihe people. He has shown himself lo be a polished gentleman and at the same time an able man. :o: When John H. Morehead be come; governor of Nebraska there will be less politic with the affair. of state iu the next two years than there has been in the Usi two years. You can depni'I on that to a dead cer tainty. :o : This is a poor year to attempt to frighten the laborers into sup port ing Taft, whether they desire fo or not. You can't "pull the wool over their eyes" any longer, Mr. Taft ami cohorts. They won't stand thai monkey business any longer. Do you hear :o: In the event that li"atut Clark is elected to congress- audi the- elec tion of president, i.s Mirxwit into Ihe house he will vote ficr RiHtse vcll, of course, because he. is a Hoosevelt supporter fjrorn start to finish. Will this- prove satis factory to tin' Taft men of the First dist rict ? Well,, hardly. i.x- lovernor stialifnlicrgcr is an able man, everyone knows that. He made the best .governor the Hale ever nan. ami lie win serve the people of Nebraska equally a well in the I'nited Slaves senate as he did in the olllre of governor. As to ability, Norris i. a pigmy by the side of "Shally," who i- a people's man, while Nocris wants to be elected to the senate so that he can further his desires to zet III Willi lln III'' in ere-, s lli-.iii.

The people have no use for dishonest politicians. :o; Wilson ami Marshall art' the people's choice for president aud intermixed ' v"-'' president. Line up, boys-, and Uke your place with the millions who are already in line in the on ward march to victory. w. WfcuMi v on vot.i for II.. W.

He is wen qualilifil for the posit im, and yum will make the niistak' of your life if you fail to vote fur him.. :ov Hon. John A.. Mac?nire has (lovernor Aldrich seems to llml a great deal of consolation in shouting "liar". In this respect tie is simply following in the foot steps of his leader, Hoosevelt, from whom he inherits a great many of the rude savings. This certainly is a trying ordeal in the life of our little governor, and lie should he pitied rather than ensured, lie views, no doubt, with alarm "Hie handwriting on the wall" and is mad. ;o: W. II. Howard of Omaha was iu Ihe city Sunday, coming down from the metropolis Saturday evening iu company with Henry H. (ieiing. While here Mr. How ard gave Ihe Journal a pleasant call, accompanied by Mr. (lering, and spent u few moments iu social t hat. Mr. Howard is a candidate for stale auditor, and from his standing as a business man is well qualified for the position in every way. l'.very dollar he possesses he made by hard work, ami does not make a practice of eking out an existence through Ihe charity of political friends, and' borrow money and forget to pay it, back. Nor does his friends fear for his election tit this responsible posi lion on account of many things that might occur which would re- llect, discredit upon his parly. One thing about Mr. Howard, he is honest, a gentleman and the nf fairs of the ollice are safe in his hands. The ballot for woman is iml a federal question. Mr. Hoosevelt cannot give woman the ballot. Congress cannot give woman Ihe ballot. Nothing ran be done by congress except to recommend an amemliueni to the federal con stitution, giving the ballot to woman, which must be submitted to each slate, so that in the lust analysis the ballot for woman is purely a mailer of stale jurisdic tion and need the voles of men of every party for success, l'.ven should such an amendment he recommended and submitted to the stales, what possible chance would there be of passing it in a majority of the slate at this lime? No chance whatever. Oovernor Ablrii li i -:.;"t ?h I'll I b I 1 . 1 I f ! t I l I I . 1 U I .

The voters tif Nebraska owe it to themselves lo locale, if possible, the responsibility for this need less sacrillce and expense, and having located it to hold the re sponsible party strictly to ac count.

The second lias been tried almost continually for the past fifty years. The principle in itself has been wrong. Its effects were al llrst insidious, but, through the last three administrations two of Mr. Hoosevelt and one of Mr. Tafl it has hrcuuht upon the country an avalanche of trouble, and Ihe country has awakened at last to the wrong that has been done to it. From the standpoint of justice and right, women should support Ihe candidate who Many are disposed to believe that Mayor Dahlinan will knife the presidential ticket because of Ih intimacy existing between Wilson and Hryan. We do not believe any such thing. Jim Dahlinan is as straight a democrat as fioi ever put breath in, and he is no of Ihe kind to knife an innocent parly to wreak vengeance on soiin enemy who is supporting t ticket. Mavor Dalilmnn is not that sort of a democrat, lie probably is glad that W. J. Itryan is sup porting Wilson and Marshall, am iu turn Mr. Itryan is glad that Mavor Dahlnian is doing the sanu This is no time lo tight out per sonal matters, and the great pros peels for a grand aud glorious victory in November should en courage everyone to do his dul by supporting and working for the election of Wilson and Mar shall.

Wilson anil Marshall ire bolh Presbyterians. Mr. Mr.v an, three limes presidential candidate out of the last four, is i Presbv teriun. drover Cleveland, Ihe only democratic president since .lames Huchanan, was a Presbyterian. The democratic standard-bearer in six of the last seven national campaigns has been a Presbyterian. And the Presbyterians are only about one twentieth of all Ihe church mem bers of (he I'nited Stales. Lin coln Journal. Now just listen to that. Out of anything mean to say about the democratic can didate for president, the Old Standpatter, wants to create a prejudice against Woodrovv Wil son among other denominations, because he is a Presbyterian. This is easily discerned. What Ihe old Journal won't do iu politics to gain a few voles for its favorite is hard to toll.
